startup apps in LUbuntu?

[JC Cheloven]

Hi, trying out LUbuntu in an old laptop. Really nice. But I'm hitting a wall with this:

I want a program (conky) to be started after the window manager (OpenBox) is loaded. This is usually accomplished in openbox environments by creating the file ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh , where you include lines for programs you want to be run at startup.

Problem is: this file is only read when openbox is invoked by the "openbox-session" command. It is not read if openbox is launched by the "openbox" command on its own.

In the LUbuntu startup window, there are options to choose the "desktop" you want. The default is (obviously) "Lubuntu", which seems to call "openbox" on its own . If I choose "Openbox Session", then my autostart.sh script is read as expected (seems that openbox-session is invoked), but all my panel, menu, etc don't appear, so this is not an option.

So: how to launch programs at startup in LUbuntu?

/etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart

Thanks, that was it!
Why everyone changes the placement of files when ellaborating whatever thing? (openbox has a place for that, lxde a different one, now lubuntu still a different one... it gets on my nerves!)

Marking as solved.

well now you know where it is, you can create a startup script anywhere you want & just run that.
example:
@/path/to/autostart.sh

just remember your startup script needs to be standard bash.
example:
#!/bin/bash
command1 &
command2 &
